> Earlier I said this would be a “general type of sharding” so let’s be clear about that. There are a bunch of shards. We make no assumptions about how the shards are connected or any use of proofs or anything like that. Our sharding coordinator can instantly move user’s balances across shards. It can also instantly assign trades to shards. The only thing that takes any time for this coordinator is deciding which balances and trades go where at the start of a block. Once it makes that decision the system runs. This should cover anything properly called a “sharding.” Odd statement. The system the author describes is decidedly not general. It is in fact a very specific and nuanced system.
